Chelsea Women Celebrate FA Cup Victory with Skales’ Afrobeat Hit “Shake Body”

Chelsea Women’s team marked their historic 3-0 triumph over Manchester United in the 2025 Women’s FA Cup Final with a vibrant and culturally rich celebration that has since gone viral.

The jubilant squad broke into dance to Nigerian Afrobeat star Skales’ 2014 hit song “Shake Body”, filling the Wembley dressing room with energy and African rhythm.

The video circulating on line, captured the joyful aftermath of a dominant Chelsea performance. Striker Sandy Baltimore led the charge with a brace, while the team secured their third major domestic trophy of the season completing a stunning unbeaten treble under new head coach Sonia Bompastor.

What stood out beyond the footballing brilliance was the team’s post-match festivities. As “Shake Body” blared from the speakers, players danced with flair, embodying the global reach of Afrobeat music and the unity of cultures within the sport.

The moment resonated with fans across the world, especially in Nigeria, where the song was a massive hit and remains an anthem of celebration.

This isn’t the first time football and Afrobeat have crossed paths. African music has increasingly become a fixture in dressing rooms, with stars like Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid regularly featured in global playlists.

But Chelsea Women’s decision to honour Skales’ decade-old banger during a defining moment of glory adds a nostalgic and celebratory edge to the song’s legacy.

Fans have praised the squad’s lively spirit and cultural inclusiveness, calling it a fitting tribute to the diversity that defines modern football.

Chelsea’s victory cements their status as the dominant force in English women’s football. But it’s their “Shake Body” celebration that may just live longest in the hearts of fans a jubilant dance echoing far beyond Wembley’s walls.
